Growing
Any garden would look great with Oregon Pinot Noir. The plant is very attractive and, when fully matured, it showers the growing area with green and purple hues that sparkle with a rich layer of milky trichomes.
One thing to note though is that the plant can look quite imposing when it is untamed. After all, it can reach a height of up to 15 feet. If grown outdoors, growers have the option of letting the plant grow tall. However, applying the Screen of Green method will not only keep it short but also create more colas for buds to sprout.
For indoor growers, topping the plant early is a necessity. Shortening the vegetative stage will manage the plant’s height while simultaneously forcing it to flower early. From then on, growers may improve trichome production through super cropping as well as exposing it to a 12/12 light cycle.
Flowering Time
Indoors
Oregon Pinot Noir has a short flowering period compared to other Sativa-dominant strains. Normally, it takes 7 to 9 weeks but some growers can harvest as early as 6 weeks. Once ready for harvest, it produces 12 to 16 ounces of buds per square meter.
Outdoors
In the northern hemisphere, Oregon Pinot Noir flowers from the last week of September to the middle of October. It yields at least 16 ounces of dried buds per plant.
